3D Printed Octopus: Small

This is the 'small' size Octopus which is a companion print to a previous print series that was detailed on this blog.   As it is another design in the series the print information has already been published here and the design journey from the students etc is already documented.

The larger octopus shown was a three hour print (on the Bambu H2D) in this instance the smaller version was a one hour print.   

The large print had a 50mm body that was 50mm high and wide and the tentacles were 60mm long.  The small octopus (shown left) was 25mm wide and high and the tentacles were 30mm long.    The print used 12g of filament and had a cost of $0.28 (USD).   For a entire roll we could print 83 of these designs and it would cost $0.35 (NZD) for each unit.

Know the prints can be printed, assembled and put together by the students for a cost of $0.35c will all the students to set a price point that reflects this with the difference being the profit per unit.

We are realistically looking at printing these in significant numbers with up to six on a single print run.
